Shi Qingxue was taken aback and hurriedly ran over.

At first glance, the young man was already foaming at the mouth, and his convulsions were only a few moments, and then he suddenly lost his reaction, and his whole person softened.

Qingxue's heart couldn't help but chuckle, reached out and probed the tip of the young man's nose, and retracted his hand in fright.

Was...... It's out of breath!

From the time the young man talked with her to the present, there was not even a quarter of an hour, and a living human life was gone.

So suddenly, Rao is Shi Qingxue, who has seen a lot of changes, was taken aback.

How, how could this be.

However, before Qingxue could come to her senses, the crowd who was watching the excitement on the side twitched one after another, and before Qingxue expected it, everyone fell to the ground one after another.

Like a young man, he foamed at the mouth, and after a while he stopped moving.

Shi Qingxue covered her mouth in panic, so she didn't scream out in a gaffe.

She was dumbfounded for two seconds, then suddenly came back to her senses and went to help the only middle-aged woman on the ground who was still twitching, wanting to help.

But in such a dry desert, there was not even the least liquid for vomiting, not to mention that Qing Xue didn't know why these people died suddenly.

Eventually, she could only watch as the woman swallowed the last bite in her arms, her eyes wide open.

A dead look.

Shi Qingxue hugged the woman's corpse, and for a while she couldn't recover from the changes in the corpses all over the ground.

It wasn't until she felt a push on her shoulder from behind that a voice came into her ears.

"Are you alright?"

Shi Qingxue was shocked, and when she turned around in surprise, she saw Abao standing behind her alive.

She suddenly felt relieved of her heart, hurriedly put down the woman's body, and took the little Abao into her arms, and shouted in surprise: "You're okay!" That's great! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Although she knew that such thoughts should not be considered, between those indifferent companions and Abao, who had been closest to her in the past few days, she selfishly hoped that Apo was still alive.

Ah Bao was probably the first time in his life that he was hugged so closely, his body stiffened into a piece of wood, and there was still a warm breath of Qingxue's warm voice in his ears, which made his ears itch.

It's a little uncomfortable, and it's a little unspeakably comfortable.

He resisted the urge to scratch his ears, ignoring the awkwardness of his whole body and the increasingly hot cheeks, and whispered timidly: "I'm not a fool, so I'll be fine!" ”

"Huh?" Shi Qingxue didn't hear clearly.

She was so happy that Ah Bao was still alive, and pulled Ah Bao to take his pulse for him, making sure that he was really healthy and that there was no problem at all, so she had the strength to think about this sudden death.

"How so?"

Shi Qingxue let go of Abao, got up and looked around, the corpses were dazzling all over the ground, especially the young men who were the leaders, who were originally fierce one or two, like kings at the top of the food chain, with a big knife hanging around their waists and precious water bags that everyone longed for but could not get.

However, by this time, it had become a corpse in the desert, and it was no different from any other corpse.

The sacks of animal skins that he had collected fell next to their corpses, making it all the more ironic.

Shi Qingxue sighed, and didn't know what to say for a while.

She couldn't figure out why all the people in a caravan, except for her and Abao, had all died in such a short period of time.

Seeing these people foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over their bodies before they died, it was a bit like ...... Poisoning?

Poisoning!

Shi Qingxue's mind flashed, and she suddenly looked at the cactus, the treasure of the desert that was still standing tall, with disbelief in her eyes.

No way!

She muttered in her heart, but still in disbelief stepped forward, raised her dagger, hung a little milky white juice from the cactus, and put it in front of her.

Before she could study it thoroughly, her dagger-holding arm was jerked.

Qingxue didn't hold it, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Then she heard Abao's angry shout: "Are you crazy? I didn't see that they were all dead, and you still dare to eat! ”

This roar made Shi Qingxue's last bit of surprise confirmed-these people were indeed poisoned to death after eating the juice of the cactus.

But after Shi Qingxue understood, instead of showing a look of sudden realization, her face was shocked and frightened.

Then, the scenes that she had not noticed just now were presented in her mind one by one as if they were played back in slow motion.

Apo was the first to discover this oasis......

When she was about to scrape the cactus juice, Apo tried her best to stop it, even saying things like 'I don't care about you anymore'......

Just now, when Apo thought she was going to taste the juice, he intervened to stop her......

This scene made Shi Qingxue have to be sure that Abao knew that the juice of these cacti could not be eaten.

Shi Qingxue's pupils dilated suddenly, and her face was full of disbelief, "You did it on purpose!" ”

Abao's face also turned pale, but he quickly calmed down again.

He didn't bother to defend himself, not even explain, just turned his face awkwardly.

After a while, he coldly held back a sentence: "I didn't force them." I just found a piece of plant here. ”

Shi Qingxue's eyes sank slightly, "But you didn't tell them that the juice of these cacti was poisonous, and even watched them drink the venom and stand by!" ”

Apo opened his mouth, as if trying to explain something, but eventually closed it again, turning his face away again.

He didn't look at Shi Qingxue, but said stubbornly: "I have no obligation to tell them!" ”

"You!" Shi Qingxue raised her hand in anger and almost fell down with a slap.

Halfway through the Yang, she suddenly remembered that the boy in front of her was not hers, so she put her hand down, only a blue face, and her face was extremely ugly.

Abao also noticed Qingxue's action, pursed his lips, and said, "You want to hit me?" ”

Shi Qingxue admitted calmly, "That's right! ”

Abao asked again: "Then why don't you fight?" ”

Qing Xue snorted angrily: "If you are my younger brother, I will never be soft on the slap just now!" ”

Abao: "You kept saying that you wanted to take care of me, but once I did something wrong, you just gave up on me, didn't you?" ”

Shi Qingxue: "......"

She was a little speechless by Abao's peculiar brain circuits.

In the end, he laughed involuntarily, and under Abao's suspicious gaze, he raised his hand and pinched the other party's cheek, and used some force.

Hummed: "Just because I don't beat you doesn't mean you can do something wrong with impunity!" Tell me first, they have no grievances with you, why do you do this to them? ”

Abao still wanted to quibble: "Hmph! Even if I told them that these plants were poisonous, they wouldn't believe it! Instead, I'll think I'm the only one trying to swallow the juice to myself.

Taking a step back, even if they believe it, they will definitely not give up this 'chance to live' if they are so desperate and greedy, and they will not try it themselves. When the time comes, I will definitely force a child like me, who has no power to resist, to be the substitute for the dead first! ”

Shi Qingxue opened her mouth, but found that what Abao said seemed to be really reasonable.

Even if she didn't want to maliciously speculate on human nature, the desert environment was too harsh, and what happened in the past few days was enough to make her soberly realize that Abao's worries were really likely to come true.

Qingxue couldn't help but shake her heart for a while, but soon she regained her senses, straightened her face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't confuse me." At first, everyone didn't notice this cactus forest, and if you hadn't been the first to shout it, maybe it wouldn't have evolved like this! ”

Although human nature is evil, if you don't deliberately try it, most of the time you can still whitewash the peace.

"I ......" Abao still wanted to argue for himself, but under Shi Qingxue's heavy gaze, he couldn't say anything.

He inexplicably felt weak and a little unwilling.

In the end, he stubbornly gained the upper hand, held his head high again, and admitted calmly: "That's right, I did it on purpose." Deliberately lured them here and ate the venom! ”

He spoke so well that he was not angry, but the speed of his speech did not reveal his timidity.

He was afraid of Shi Qingxue's eyes, so he could only say more quickly: "Don't tell me that you didn't find out, the reason why these people let us live is to raise us like animals, and when they are desperate, they will kill us and save themselves."

The previous leader was a living end! Such a villain, if I don't strike first, I can only be the fish on their chopping board and let them slaughter.

I want to live, so what's wrong with me striking first! No matter what you say, I don't regret what I did! ”

Shi Qingxue was shocked by Abao's high-minded talk, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

She had to admit that even if she was reborn and had rich experience and experience, she still had illusions about human nature after all.

As Apo said, she does know how those people think of them, the 'old, weak, sick and disabled', but all she thinks about is how to protect herself and protect Abao when those people are about to do it.

The rest, she didn't think about it, and she didn't dare to think about it much.

Compared with Abao, in the end, she is too naïve.

Shi Qingxue was silent for a long time and did not speak.

Apo was still very straightforward, and felt that he had done nothing wrong.

But when there was no response for a long time, the apprehension in my heart began to beat gongs and drums again.

He looked down at the yellow sand on the ground, and then secretly raised his eyes to look at Shi Qingxue's expression.

The longer I passed, the more nervous I became, and finally I couldn't hold back, and choked again: "Why don't you speak, are you disappointed in me, think I'm so bad, you shouldn't have given me water to drink in the first place." Maybe I was starving and thirsty, and I wouldn't have happened today! ”

Abao's mouth opened and closed up and down, and he spoke like pouring beanie, crackling.

In the end, he turned his back and didn't want to look at Shi Qingxue again.

It's like being angry.

Shi Qingxue keenly noticed the tremor of the child's shoulders, and the little anger left in her heart completely dissipated.

At the end of the day, it's just a poor kid.

As Apo said, if Apo doesn't do this today, maybe tomorrow they will be the ones who will fall to the ground and be bled and cut off!

The reality is so cruel!
